do binary delta updates work from any package versionhttp://www.osnews.com/thread?367914
http://www.osnews.com/thread?367914Do the binary delta updates work from any package version? For example, if I had package-1.0 from the install DVD, then did a normail yum update to package-1.1 will the deltas work when going from 1.1 to 1.2? Or do they only work from the base install versions?Thu, 11 Jun 2009 10:33:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (project_2501)CommentsRE: do binary delta updates work from any package versionhttp://www.osnews.com/thread?367921
http://www.osnews.com/thread?367921Yes, although Fedora Project itself might choose to not carry all the potential deltas, createrepo does allow you to generate them.Thu, 11 Jun 2009 11:49:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (Rahul)CommentsLink to page onehttp://www.osnews.com/thread?367934

http://www.osnews.com/thread?367972Since I'm not fond RPM based distros, I was a little disappointed when I tried out the Fedora 11 Xfce spin and its GUI package manager (PackageKit?) would time out and lock up without any indication of what was going on. Reminded me a bit of Yast and why I left openSUSE. Anyway, at the request of some helpful people at the forums, I removed the default GUI package manager and installed yumex, and what do you know, it makes a world of difference. Now I'm learning to work from the command line with yum, which isn't much different from apt, pacman, or pkg_install. Binary diffs are a godsend. Like I said, I've never much cared for RPM based distros, not since the Redhat 5.2 days, but Fedora 11 is starting to grow on me.Thu, 11 Jun 2009 16:21:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (joekiser)CommentsFedora 11http://www.osnews.com/thread?367977
http://www.osnews.com/thread?367977Wish I could use Fedora 11, I tried the Live CD to see if it work with my hardware. However, the usb mouse and keyboard did not work. Maybe I should try the actual install DVD.Thu, 11 Jun 2009 16:48:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (kjamc1982)CommentsRE: Fedora 11http://www.osnews.com/thread?368001
